The Acting Company brings contemporary classics to Asheville

“The joy and horror of August Wilson’s work is that it doesn’t take much to make it relevant,” said Devin Brain, producing director of The Acting Company, the New York City-based professional theatre group bringing Wilson’s “Two Trains Running” and Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” to the Wortham on Feb. 28 and March 1.

“What’s true in both the 1960s and today is that each day can be filled with struggles and challenges and change, but also with laughter and camaraderie. As Ken Gash, our artistic director, likes to say: This is a play that is absolutely about Black Americans. But, ultimately, it’s a play about Americans. It’s a view of what America is.”
